Gemma Evans: Liverpool sign Wales defender from Manchester United


Liverpool have signed defender Gemma Evans from Women’s Super League rivals Manchester United for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old Wales centre-back, who can also play at full-back, made 12 appearances for United last season.

Evans is Reds boss Matt Beard’s third signing of the summer after Canada midfielder Olivia Smith and Swedish forward Cornelia Kapocs.

“I want more game time and I want to prove the ability I think I have,” Evans told Liverpool’s website.

“I haven’t been able to showcase that the last season so I want to meet my standards again and hit the floor running.”

Evans had joined United last year after spells with Bristol City and Reading.
